Well I tried the Moderate accelaration technique. Shifted into 2nd at 10mph, 3rd at 15mph, into 4th at 20mph, into 5th at 30mph.

Barely did any P&G because my speedo would plummet like a fat man off a roof.(Yes I know objects of different weight fall at the same rate.)

Whenever I saw a yellow or red I coasted in gear.

Did a trip of about 25 miles. ALL CITY 42.9MPG <---Scangauge data
Stopped at about 50-60% of the lights. Which means it's real life data, that's how it usually is in the daytime.

My best tank thus far is 42.00mpg and that's mixed driving(freeway and streets) and that's with really slow accelaration.
